| Introduction | I am 57 ears old, female, alive, in love with life, Bleeding Heart Liberal, Thinker, and Lover. Health conditions have sidelined me from my paid occupation for the last 10 years.I have always enjoyed being an observer of life. Now I find a desire to share my thoughts with anyone who cares to read them. I have lived in ten different states, traveled to/thru all the states, except for Maine, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, and Missouri. I have traveled to Mexico, Canada, the UK, France, Italy, Kenya, Botswana, Swaziland, Lesotho and the Republic of South Africa. I started kindergarten at age 4, skipped the 4th grade and graduated High School at 16, starting University at 16. I have an Undergraduate Degree in Elementary Ed. with Allied Endorsements in Early Childhood and Special Education. I have a Masters in Occupational Therapy. In my life's work, I have been a babysitter, house cleaner, Avon Lady, Agricultural Aide/Research Assistant, High School English and Geography Teacher, Bar Maid, Waitress, Water Well Rigger, Telephone Opinion Surveyor, Girl Scout Camp Counselor, Construction Worker, Special Education Self-Contained Classroom Teacher and Pediatric Occupational Therapist. |
| Interests | I love the outdoors, hiking, biking, camping, photography, yoga, canoeing watching nature, and people watching.I have never hunted, but have owned and shot BB guns and recurve bows. I am a total bookworm and have been called a nerd. I do stained glass, batik and have sewn whole outfits as well as a sleeping bag. I love whimsy, and fancy myself an optomist. Some people may find me naive, but I prefer the word hopeful. I have been blessed with a variety of experiences in my life. |
| Favorite music | I love classical, blues, some jazz, bluegrass, folk, hard and classic rock, heavy metal, New Age, and some country, especially the older stuff. I played the flute through High School, but was probably just mediocre despite lessons and practice. I have played piano, but not kept up and still occasionally play the soprano recorder. Music is still a very important part of my life, and if I am not listening or dancing to it, it is playing in my head. I have composed whole symphonic pieces in my sleep, but never been blessed with this skill in real life, altho I would not be averse to trying sometime. |
